American Horror Story: Apocalypse - 6 Major Questions Raised By The Finale

5. What Are The Fates Of The Murder House Characters?

While Apocalypse Then doesn't leave many loose ends on the fate of Coven's characters - Misty’s back (again), Myrtle was never revived, Madison’s back in hell (for now), and Cordelia, Zoe, and Queenie are all alive - it doesn't seem to care about any of the Murder House characters. Of course, it ignores some the new characters as well, but who really cares about what Venable and those cokehead tech geniuses are up to?

Anyway, the season’s sixth episode, Return to Murder House, provided much-needed closure to the characters and story of that season - closure that has unfortunately been undone, leaving the state of the characters once again unresolved.

We do know that Constance is still alive, but now she’s alone, a failed mother for the fifth time. Will she succumb to loneliness and ultimately have the same fate: drinking herself to death (with the help of pills) in the Murder House to reunite with her dead kids?

Even if that’s the case, then what about the rest of the characters? With Michael dead and no threat to the coven or the world (for now, but we’ll get to that later), there’s no incentive for Cordelia to send anyone to the Murder House.

We can only assume that Moira's bones stay buried and she'll never be reunited with her mother, that Vivien and Ben remain on bad terms with each other, and that Violet is eternally in conflict with herself over her love for Tate, knowing the evil he’s done.

And since that evil didn't leave with Michael (not that that explanation made much sense to begin with), there's no clean state to be made between the two. Way to ruin the season’s best episode.
